Spring Running Video Tips from Sportskool

Friday, March 12th, 2010

The weather is getting nicer and for many of us, the snow has all melted. It’s time to start thinking about getting outside and running (or jogging). This is a great time of the year to get out with the kids and do a 5K or fun run for a local charity or civic organization. Its a great way to teach our kids about being active and engaged. The video below from Sportskool is well worth watching.

Sportskool does a great job in this video (Running training 1) offering some good pre-run stretches that beginners to experts can appreciate, especially at this time of the year. Enjoy and be healthy.

Get the kids active this Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Are you looking for a way to get the kids active this Thanksgiving?  There has to be something for them to do that is a little more engaging than sitting on the couch watching TV.  Here are some activities and games from Catherine Holecko that will make Thanksgiving a more fun and active holiday for the kids.

Our favorite idea is definitely playing football!  While Sal doesn’t like mashed potatoes and Taz isn’t a big fan of turkey, we did agree that getting out and playing some football with the family is a Thanksgiving must.  Whether you have your own Turkey Bowl at the local park or simply throw the ball around in the backyard, nothing goes better with Thanksgiving than football!

Check out these other ways to get the family fit at Catherine’s Family Fitness blog.

HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!
